We were able to visit with some friends last night that we used to do quite a lot with in the past. We had moved out of the neighborhood, but was still close enough to still do things with them, then they moved out of the state.
Our kids were the same ages as their kids so we even planned summer vacations together. We were able to reminisce about the vacations and had some great laughs over them. But busy lives and the distance, the times together ended, but the memories are wonderful to hold onto.
Needless to say, we have not been able to find friends like these since. Ones that you can just call at a moments notice and just hang out or go out to eat at the last minute or actually spend a week together and still like one another afterwards.
Will we be able to have more time once our kids are all in college? I hope so, we were able to talk just like back in the day. Both families have five years till the youngest one graduates from high school. Until then, we have to make it a point to travel and see one another more, that's the key in a busy life, you have to make it a point and effort to stay in touch.
